Here are some more of my quilts and a very special member of my family :P

This is Patches. She lost her leg last September (animal/car?) She's a very expensive mutt but she was worth every penny we spent to have her fixed up. She walks, runs and jumps just fine.

My Irish Chain. I had originally tied it but decided to machine quilt in the ditch

My string quilt. I loved this pattern so much, I made three more!

Love the string quilt!!! I added your picture to my (evergrowing) list of projects. I will have to live to be about 200 in order to have time to do them all :lol:

Sorry, it was from an old magazine, but the general idea is
1. Sew strips together (say 6") to any length you want
2. Take any square ruler and cut out 1/2 square triangles (vertical) and sew 4 of them together to make a square. The larger the ruler, the larger the square.
3. Cut a piece of plain material the same size as the string square and sew together

I hope this helps

Beautiful! Both quilt and kitty!

Very pretty quilts. I love your cat. Sorry he got hurt. When I got my cat as a kitten I trained him to be on a long line (length of back yard) He wears a halter. The vet suggested it when I lost my last cat due to poisening him. My cat doesn't mind it at all. 4 yrs old now. :D

Nice quilts---I love the setting for your string quilt and how you quilted in between the blocks.
